Rem (again) summoned Ritsuka to the student council's room. Unfortunately, Rem was currently out and the devils who were present in the room saw that time as a-

"CHANCE!" The three of them said it at the same time.

"For what, may I know?" Izryl asked, but her face remains bored as usual.

"Hmph, are you an idiot? If we get the- No, if I get the grimoire, I could gain that great power! That gal knows where the thing is!"

"And after you had obtained the power?"

"Well..." Mage scratched the back of his neck.

"Mmm..." Shiki who sat on the couch swung his legs.

"Oh, so all this time you never know what your true objective is?" Urie grinned.

"W-Well, who the hell cares?! As long as I have that power, I could do anything! WORLD DOMINATION!" Mage raised his fists as he stood up from the couch.

"I know... I'll just destroy everthing and... HAHAHAHA!" Shiki laughed, but the other just looked at him with annoyance.

"How pathetic..." Urie folded his hand.

"How about you, Urie?"

"Of course I'd seek for a title, The Devil King,"

"Yer a hundred years too soon for that,"

"And after you've obtained that title?" Izryl chased Urie with questions.

"Oh, there's so many I can do and have,"

"And after that?"

"Y'know... Ask one more time and you're gonna get a knuckle sandwich on yer small pretty face," Mage irritated.

"I'd use it to make you mine, Izryl,"

Urie tried to take her hand, but she took a step back. Disappointed, he just gave her a smile. At least he could keep her from asking. From the corner of the room, a pomeranian watched them.

"Excuse me..."

The grand door opened and Ritsuka stepped in. The devils rushed to came at her, tried to gain her attention. Starting from Urie, Mage, until the two started fighting. It was Shiki's turn to hit on her, until a pomeranian bit his leg.

"Pathetic..." Izryl whispered.

Finally Rem came back and saved Ritsuka after he shot death glare at his comrades for taking advantages. His glare told them "never lay a hand on her, nasty little traitors,".

Rem told Ritsuka that the police had tracked a signal of her mother's phone from the house of her grandfather. They immediately went to the place by limousine.

"Don't follow us," Rem glared at Izryl before he entered the limousine after Risuka sat.

"I go where I need to," and she sat next to Ritsuka, "mind me not,"

The limousine proceed, creating soft voices of the limousine's machine. It was quiet. Izryl kept watching Rem, making him felt awkward, but he stay calm. Along the trip, they ate lunch, and they finally arrived. The house looked old and the some of the wild grass and plants grew on it's fence and wall. Ritsuka and Rem was shocked to find that the house had been ransacked. Izryl who also entered the house, found a photo of a little boy with red hair sat on a woman's lap that seemed to be his mother, laying on the bedroom's floor. The woman's expression tells that she was in a deep grim.

"Memories trapped in glass, enlighten me with your story," Izryl chanted a spell and blew the photo gently. A woman's form shaped of thick fog appeared in front of her, chanting something.

"He's not my son... He's not my son... He's not my son..."

"Your blood flows along his. He is your son," Izryl stated the fact, and the woman dissappeared.

Suddenly, a fire started and it crept into the place where she stood. But she stood still without feeling any pain and the fire just went trough her normal like air.

After the photo in her hand turned into ash by the fire, she walked towards the kitchen and saw Rem, surrounded in blue fire and pinning a vampire to the wall with his magic.

Aah, there's demon and vampires battling in the kitchen, Izryl thought.

With a move of his palm, the vampire cried in pain and turned into dust.

"I have heard it. Loud and clear," Izryl smiled.

"What?"

"She's mine, I won't-" Izryl mimicked his song until Rem snapped at her.

"I meant the GRIMOIRE,"

"Really?"

Rem ignored her and left the house. Ristsuka welcomed him outside with tear-filled eyes, worried about him. A long whistle came from Izryl.

"Just confess already, Rem,"

It was already dark when they got back. The limousine stopped in front of Ritsuka's house, where a red haired teenager laid his back on the fence, had expected them to come. He smiled as he saw Ritsuka came out of the vehicle.

"Nii-san!" Ritsuka hugged her big brother, and he stroke her hair, calming her.

"It's okay, Ritsuka..."

Lindo's first impression of Rem seemed not too great, for he immediately told Rem to go no closer at Risuka. Ritsuka was ashamed of his brother's harsh words at Rem and drag him home after thanking Rem. Izryl who was suddenly stood next to Rem opened her mouth.

"A rival has appeared,"

"..."

"Oh, I beg my pardon. Everyone is a rival, is it not?"
